This section explains the settings for linking an Ethernet Fabric (VCS) with a network resource.
After configuring this settings, Network resources linked with the Ethernet Fabric (VCS) are displayed in the logical map of NetworkViewer. This enables the display of the linkage with an L-Platform, an L-Server, etc.
Creating network configuration information (XML definition)
For details, refer to "9.4.8.1 When Creating Network Configuration Information (XML Definition)".
Creating rulesets for VCS monitoring
The procedure for creating the rulesets for VCS monitoring is as follows:
Registering Rulesets for VCS Monitoring
Copy a ruleset for the sample script and register the ruleset.
A folder common to network devices
To manage only one VCS fabric, perform this operation only when registering for the first time.
To manage more than one VCS fabric, create a folder for each combination of VCS to link the network resources.
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\scripts\original\network_resource\vcs_monitor_net
[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/scripts/original/network_resource/vcs_monitor_net
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\scripts\network_resource\ruleset_name
[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/scripts/network_resource/ruleset_name
ruleset_name must start with an alphabet character, and can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
A folder for a specific network device
Perform this only when creating for the first time.
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\scripts\original\Brocade\VDX\rulesets\vcs_monitor
[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/scripts/original/Brocade/VDX/rulesets/vcs_monitor
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\scripts\Brocade\VDX\rulesets\vcs_monitor
[Linux Manager]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/scripts/Brocade/VDX/rulesets/vcs_monitor
Edit Rulesets
Edit the rulesets.
A folder common to network devices
The targets of editing are the following script files:
create.lst
connect.lst
disconnect.lst
modify.lst
delete.lst
Edit the script files using the following procedure.
When linking a single network resource with multiple VCSs, before editing, make as many copies of the existing lines described as the number of VCSs.
Replace the node operand on each line with the name of the target network device.
Execution script, node=Network device name |
This section explains each item.
Execution script
The script to be executed. Editing is not necessary.
Network device name
Specify the name of the target network device.
Example
When managing two network devices (vcs1 and vcs2)
Before editing
./Brocade/VDX/rulesets/vcs_monitor/vcs_mon_create.rb, node=VCS |
After editing
./Brocade/VDX/rulesets/vcs_monitor/vcs_mon_create.rb, node=vcs1 |
A folder for a specific network device
Editing is not necessary.
Note
The rulesets edited here are not used for performing automatic VLAN configuration for VCS using Resource Orchestrator.
To configure a VLAN for VCS, login to the target device directly and configure the VLAN manually, or use another product.
Confirm the Settings of the Network Device
Confirm the network configuration information (XML definition) for network device registration.
When "false" is set for the definition for whether to perform automatic configuration of network devices (the AutoConfiguration element), modify it to "true".
For details on network configuration information (XML definitions), refer to "15.7.1 Creation" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
When modification of registered network devices is necessary, refer to "15.7.2 Modification" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
Create Network Resources
When creating network resources, specify the edited rulesets.
When creating using the GUI
For details on creating network resources, refer to "14.3.1 Creating New Network Resources" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".
When creating using the CLI
Execute the rcxadm network create command to create the network resource.
For the -file option, specify the network resources (XML definitions) that satisfy the following conditions:
"true" is configured for the definition of existence of the automatic configuration function (the SwitchConfiguration auto element)
The edited ruleset name is configured for the definition of the ruleset name (the Ruleset name element)
For details, refer to "3.9 rcxadm network" and "15.6.1 Creation" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
